Description

No. 285 Hartshill Road is a house built around 1840, constructed of brick and topped with a plain-tiled roof featuring scalloped bands and ridge cresting. Designed in the Gothic style, this cottage is a mirror image of No. 263 Hartshill Road. It has one-and-a-half storeys and includes a canted bay that faces the street, featuring trefoiled windows with red and black tiled panels beneath relieving arches on the ground floor. The hipped roof above contains gabled dormers. There is a porch at the angle of the building, and an advanced gable set back to the east, which has a casement window that projects on corbels at ground level and pronounced bargeboards also supported by corbels. A stack is located against the rear wall.
